West Ham United is on the brink of finalizing a transfer deal with Paris Saint-Germain for midfielder Carlos Soler.
The arrangement is expected to begin with an 11-month loan, followed by an obligation to purchase Soler next season, which would secure him for a longer-term contract believed to be five years.
Spanish media reports reveal that Real Sociedad has dropped out of the race for Soler’s services, making way for him to join West Ham.
This unexpected turn of events is attributed to Soler’s preference for a Premier League move, influenced by the impact of Julen Lopetegui.
In response, West Ham has escalated their efforts, crafting a transfer deal similar to the one used to bring Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice to East London.
The club’s negotiating team has adeptly managed the financial aspects by deferring payments, allowing them to work around Financial Fair Play (FFP) and Profitability and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) constraints.
This strategy has enabled West Ham to secure key signings while remaining compliant with financial regulations, positioning them favorably in the transfer market.
